Sport Science in Year 3

In Year 3 science, we have been learning all about the human skeleton. The children were fascinated to discover that the longest and strongest bone in the human body is the femur (thigh bone). To put their learning into action, they carried out an exciting investigation: Can someone with a longer femur jump further? The children carefully measured and recorded their results, using their scientific skills to think about fair testing and what might affect the outcome. It was a fun and active way to explore how our bones help us move, and Year 3 loved combining science with a bit of sport!
